Qin Xiao Lou slowly calmed down and silently nodded.
Wu Xing Wen laughed, then asked in a loud voice: “Path of righteousness? How laughable, and I suppose your actions of bullying the weak is also righteous?”
The crowds became rowdy again.
This was the very first time a Ding Yuan General openly confirmed Gu Qing Shan’s crimes, meaning it could very well be the truth.
Gu Qing Shan calmly replied: “As a General of humanity, yet you’re openly bad mouthing another in front of everyone else, that is what you call bullying the weak”
“You dare!” Wu Xing Wen pointed at Gu Qing Shan, about to say something else.
“Do you really want to die? I’m no match for you right now, but I can easily ask Shifu to take your pathetic life” Gu Qing Shan squints his eyes and said.
“Trust me, I’m not joking right now, I’m being very sincere” he continued.
Wu Xing Wen unconsciously retracted his hand, shrinking slightly in fear.
If Gu Qing Shan keeps up his attitude and really does something like that, with Bai Hua Fairy’s personality, she might really take his life.
Wu Xing Wen begrudgingly: “Aren’t you just depending on your Shifu to openly ignore military authority?”
“The decisive battle is already upon is, and you still dare to threaten this General, do you not think that you’re cruel and selfish!?”
Gu Qing Shan’s face remains blank as paper, emphasizing each and every word: “If you say anything else, I’ll gladly ask Shifu to take your live right now”
He took out a communication talisman, holding it in hand.
Infusing his spirit energy, the communication talisman lit up.
Wu Xing Wen stared at him, opened his mouth, but doesn’t speak a word.
He really doesn’t dare to say anything.
Originally, this would have been within limits, just enough that he can’t lift his head to look at anyone, not having the face to ask the Saint for help.
This brat, he’s obviously the same as what the spirit beasts said, abuse his power to bully others, killing Li Chu Chen for his own gain. Yet how could he act so self-important about it?
Looking at him, he’s clearly not holding any anger in at all, does he not fear that this matter will reach the Saint’s ears? Does he think the Saint would vouch for his character?

——-this little piece of shit!
This fucker doesn’t only have the worst reputation, he even dared to make me unable to back down, this… this…
Wu Xing Wen was gritting his teeth so hard from anger it even started to bleed.
His body wrapped inside the armor was even shaking a little bit, unable to contain some sort of emotion welling up.
Around, everyone else was the same, looking at Gu Qing Shan in stifled anger, no one dared to speak a single word.
Gu Qing Shan then suddenly sighed and said: “I’m actually quite confused right now”
“Why so?” Qin Xiao Lou followed up with him.
Before, he got blocked unable to say anything to Wu Xing Wen. Who could’ve known just a few words from junior brother would block Wu Xing Wen as well, you can’t imagine the pleasure from that.
“Being a General, he keeps using these underhanded methods behind someone else’s back, yet when faced with direct confrontation, he’s so deathly afraid of death”
“Ahahahahaha!” Qin Xiao Lou loudly laughed like it was the funniest thing ever.
Gu Qing Shan had a strange look in his eyes, looking at Wu Xing Wen.
Even when he got isolated, Gu Qing Shan’s expression was still calm as water, yet he’s looking a bit worried right now.
“Stop here, don’t say anything more” Gong Sun Zhi walked to them.
“Old Wu, I need you to do me a favor” he clasped his fist and said.
“Speak” Wu Xing Wen said with a grim face.
“I won’t butt in to your business, just give Gu Qing Shan to me, I’ll arrange for him myself” Gong Sun Zhi replied.
As he heard that, Wu Xing Wen was a bit hesitant.
Should I or should I not accept this?
In the previous campaign, apparently Gong Sun Zhi was saved thanks to Gu Qing Shan asking for help from Bai Hua Saint.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t this be the same as letting him go?
But the decisive battle is already upon us, if I keep holding on to this ——–that’s not right, I do want Gu Qing Shan’s reputation to be totally ruined, but why would I in this crucial time…
A thought rose from Wu Xing Wen’s mind, in the midst of his confusion, he felt an overwhelming rage welling up in his chest.

Resentment, anger, grievance, killing intent, all sorts of negative emotions blew up at once, rushing to his head.
A voice was heard inside him.
That’s right, I’ve already prepared everything after this, I can’t just let him go!
The next step is to make sure he dies while on the march!
As soon as he had that thought, all the other worries he had were instantly swept away.
Wu Xing Wen looked at Gong Sun Zhi, then again at Gu Qing Shan, smiling.
“I’m sorry, General Sun Zhi, he’s a soldier under my jurisdiction, since I’ve already given the orders, I can’t rescind it”
“Not to mention, I can’t just shuffle around men arbitrarily like this”
“Such a…. hm, let’s just say I think you shouldn’t poison your troops with someone like him”
His tone was very gentle, shrugging, as if this was something that couldn’t be helped.
“Then what about me?”
In the air, a female voice suddenly rang out.
All cultivators lifted their heads to see, Bai Hua Fairy was standing there, together with Xuanyuan Tianzun and the Great Monk of Sorrow on her left and right.
“We solemnly welcome the Saint!”
All cultivators saluted.
Bai Hua Fairy’s eyes were cold, looking at Wu Xing Wen with a blank expression, asking: “I ask you, I want to direct Gu Qing Shan away from your jurisdiction, do you accept or not?”
Immense spirit pressure emitted from her body, even blowing the clouds in the sky away.
Boom!
Being hit with such overwhelming spirit pressure, the army of almost a hundred thousand cultivators were made to kneel.
“What’s wrong? Speak!” Bai Hua Fairy’s tone was light, but the spirit pressure she emits began to grow with every passing second.
Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling was exceptionally angry.
Originally while on the way, she was still satisfied that her disciple was able to discover such a terrifying secret.
This matter can actually affect whether or not they win this battle.
The other Saints were also shaken to no end, showing just how unbelievable the truth of the matter was.
Bai Hua Fairy was smiling brightly, thinking about negotiating her disciple’s military ranking again after this was done.
Then as the 3 Saints made it to the frontline, they found Gu Qing Shan was being singled out by everyone and made to transport supplies ——–and he was even singled out from that!
They also saw how Gong Sun Zhi went to ask for him, and was rejected by Wu Xing Wen.
How experienced are the 3 Saints of humanity? They instantly noticed.
——–this was him being openly antagonized.
And because of that, Xie Dao Ling wouldn’t endure it.
Facing Bai Hua Fairy, Wu Xing Wen felt every other emotion he had before gone without a trace.
It was like the emotions themselves were afraid of Bai Hua Fairy and went into hiding.
Feeling Bai Hua Fairy’s rage, Wu Xing Wen quickly saluted and said: “As the Saint ordered, of course I will comply”
“How well spoken, so my disciple is a poison now is he?” Bai Hua Fairy slowly spoke, “And you even assigned my disciple for supplies transportation duty, such a great Ding Yuan General you are”
Bai Hua Fairy has never said such words ever before.
She has always been someone that doesn’t bother with official Military. But the fact that she’s speaking out right now shows just how angry she was.
Wu Xing Wen’s heart sank, quickly looked at Xuanyuan Tianzun and beg for help: “Shifu…”
Xuanyuan Tianzun frowned.
Just what happened here? We’re already about to battle, what the heck are you holding on to her disciple for?
Could it be, he really did something unforgivable, and still dared to make a Ding Yuan General unable to back down in front of everybody?
If that’s the case, then even if he has to offend Xie Dao Ling, he must speak out for his disciple!
Xuanyuan Tianzun cleared his throat and asked: “What happened?”
Wu Xing Wen told the entire story from start to finish, adding some extra details.
Unexpectedly convenient!
An extremely strange thought formed in his mind.
After this, Shifu might permanent cut ties with Bai Hua Fairy…
“You’re saying that, you received testimony from people of Spirit Beast sect and their spirit beasts, feeling that he’s in the wrong?” Xuanyuan Tianzun’s fighting spirit that he was gathering before suddenly stopped, a strange look showed on his face.
“Amitabha”
The Great Monk of Sorrow suddenly chanted Buddha, but stay silent.
His eyes first looked at Gu Qing Shan, then slowly at Wu Xing Wen.
No one noticed how he was already silently making hand seals in his baggy monk robe.
